Is the Florentine Allison worth $169?

At $169 at ILoveDooney as of November 5, 2026, it is well under the Florentine line's usual full price. For a vegetable-tanned leather crossbody with a zip top, that is a fair price.

How does it compare with the Florentine Mini Satchel?

The Allison is smaller and lighter in shape, with a single crossbody strap instead of top handles. It carries less but is easier to wear hands-free.

Will the leather scratch?

Florentine Vacchetta leather scratches and marks, especially in light colors. Most marks blend in as the leather darkens with use.

The 8.5 x 8 x 3-inch body holds a phone, card case, keys and sunglasses. A full-size continental wallet fits but is tight through the opening.

Is the strap removable?

No. The 22-inch strap adjusts for length but is attached to the bag.

Our take on the Dooney & Bourke Florentine Allison Crossbody

The Florentine Allison is a small structured crossbody in Dooney & Bourke's Florentine Italian Vacchetta leather, a vegetable-tanned hide known for a pebbled grain and a patina that darkens with use. It measures about 8.5 by 8 by 3 inches with a 22-inch adjustable strap, a zip top and inside and outside pockets. At $169 at ILoveDooney as of November 5, 2026, it sits well below the $250-$400 the Florentine line usually asks at full price.
